No-Good at Love

"I'm sorry Tsuna, but I can't go out with you." Those were the words that would forever be etched into his mind. Tsunayoshi Sawada, a 14-year old boy from Namimori Middle School was just rejected by his long time crush Kyoko Sasagawa. His mind was going faster than the speed of light, he was supposed to say something, but nothing would come out of his mouth. He looked stupid as he stood there before her with his lips opening and closing like a fish gasping for water.

"Tsuna, what's wrong?" Kyoko asked with her eyebrows touching each other. Her voice was full of concern as she lightly shook the boy to stop him from phasing out.

"Ah! Sorry." The boy tried to bow, but he moved too fast and ended up tripping over himself. His shoes just happened to be untied at the moment. "Whoa!" Tsuna held his hands out, trying to balance himself so he wouldn't fall over. He lost his balance anyway and fell on top of Kyoko, bringing both of them to the ground.

Tsuna closed his eyes tightly, waiting to hit the hard ground and hopefully escape with only a few minor bumps and bruises. "A-Are you okay?" He heard the worry in her voice before he opened his eyes to see the emotion reflected in her orange eyes.

Almost immediately, Tsuna gasped loudly and scrambled to get up. Once again, he stumbled, but this time it was backwards. His eyes closed shut for the impact, but luckily he was caught by a familiar pair of hands. "Are you alright?" Tsuna turned around to face his friend that he always admired for being able to make friends with everyone.

"Thanks, Yamamoto." Tsuna smiled at his friend that was a year older than him and was already in High School. "It's been a while." He said.

"Yeah, it has." Yamamoto nodded. He noticed Tsuna's eyes flicker in the other direction, he could sense the air around him thicken. "How have you been?" It was a little awkward, but there was nothing he could do about it. He kept that same smile on his face like always, only changing when something unexpected happens. The bag that was grasped in his hands had his favorite baseball bat safely inside of it. Yamamoto had a sweat shirt on with matching pants. He saw them by chance after practicing in the nearby park.

"Um, I've been good." Tsuna laughed without humor and scratched the back of his head. Lately things have been going terrible for him, his grades are still poor, the girl he likes just rejected him, and his luck hasn't changed at all. "Well…I'll be going now." Tsuna bowed once again, it was a bad habit of his. He had to get out of there soon, but he didn't know why.

"Wait, Tsuna!" Kyoko called out from where she was waiting patiently. She ran up to him and handed him a pair of gloves that had an "X" on them. "I know since you love wearing those gloves," She pointed to the old warn out ones that he was wearing. He's been wearing them for a year now. "I thought that you might like these for your birthday."

He smiled at her, his eyes shone brightly even though his mood wasn't so cheerful. "My birthday isn't until another week."

"I know." His smile was contagious; she couldn't help but to smile back at him. "I won't be here next week, so I thought that I should give it to you today. Taka picked it out for you." She blushed at the nickname she had for Yamamoto. The way her eyes filled with instant joy when she said his name, Tsuna already knew that he never had a chance with her. His crush was going out with one of his best friends.

Yamamoto took this as a sign that he should step in. "Well, come on Kyoko. I think we need to hurry up and get you home." He slung his arm around her, further proving the fact that they're going out.

"Eh..?" She looked up at him; she fidgeted when they met eye contact. "Ah!" She remembered that she had a ton of homework that she still needed to do. "See you Tsuna!" She waved before following Yamamoto whom already started to walk away.

"See you later." Yamamoto also waved with his smile still there. The couple kept on walking, leaving Tsuna there to think about everything, alone.
